Her attitude, completely different from just now, made He Lingling almost burst into laughter. She looked up at her and couldn't help but retort, "You're really disgusting."
Aunt Cui was stupefied, looking at her injuredly, and suddenly sighed, "What's wrong? I didn't offend you. Why are you suddenly scolding me like this?"
Her pitiable tone seemed to accuse He Lingling of being an ungrateful woman.
He Lingling felt very uncomfortable inside. She didn't believe that Li Fengnian failed to notice the odd dynamic between her and Aunt Cui, but he remained silent, and she didn't like to act. It wasn't that she couldn't act; it's just that she didn't want to. Turning her life into a palace intrigue over a man was too exhausting and meaningless for her. The love she looked forward to, the partner, wasn't meant to be produced this way.
Standing up abruptly, she just wanted to leave, but before she could take a step, Li Fengnian grabbed her wrist. She struggled and angrily said, "Let go!"
